Review of 'Modern for Wikipedia', an extension that allows you to customize Wikipedia to your own modern look.

'Modern for Wikipedia ' is an extension that allows you to freely customize the appearance of the free

multilingual Internet encyclopedia 'Wikipedia ' written by the collaboration of volunteers from all over the world. I tried to see how much the appearance of Wikipedia changes with 'Modern for Wikipedia' which is free and easy to introduce.

https://www.modernwiki.app/

There are three versions of 'Modern for Wikipedia': Chrome version, Firefox version, and Microsoft Edge version, but this time I will install and use the Chrome version. Access the above URL and click 'Add to Chrome' at the bottom of the page.

Then

you will be taken to the distribution page of the Chrome Web Store, so click 'Add to Chrome'.

Click 'Add Extension'.

After that, access Wikipedia, click the puzzle button in the upper right of the browser, and click 'Modern Design for Wikipedia'.

Then, the following UI will appear, so click the button in the red frame to enable 'Modern for Wikipedia'.

This will change the look of Wikipedia.

By the way, the appearance of Wikipedia at normal times is this.

When 'Modern for Wikipedia' is enabled, it will be as follows.

It's easy to use, and when you click the hamburger button on the top left, the menu on the left side of the screen disappears and the content on the page becomes easier to read.

From the search box at the top center of the screen, you can search for the page you are looking for by text search. You can also check Wikipedia trends from the search box if you haven't entered any text.

You can check the pages searched in the past on Wikipedia by clicking the history button.

You can change the display language from the button to the right of the history button.

From the 'AA' button, you can freely change the appearance of Wikipedia. You can select from 2 types of fonts, 11 levels of font size, 11 levels of line spacing, 7 levels of text wrapping width, and 5 levels of background color.

You can check how you actually changed the appearance of Wikipedia using 'Modern for Wikipedia' in the following movie.
